    Anyone here customized a Rem. 870 Express?

    870HD 18" cyl bore, ramp bead front sight all stock. Added a sling w/ QD swivels (don't use it in the house AT ALL!). "Cruiser ready" w/ 3 loads of 00Buck, backed up by a slug. Would love to have time and $$ to take a good class!! And more range time! IF you're new here, BAUUR is Dave's term...

    My CCW was outed today...

    You businessmen in the community need to pull your advertising. Everyone else, since you're already public knowledge, encourage others to pull their ads. Boycott the ones who don't. Adv. pays the bills, sale of papers often is in the red. Bob

    My friend got mugged this weekend

    Sorry about your Bud. Glad, and surpised, he wasn't shot in the back. Shame he wasn't a (high-level) martial artist; disarm BG, dump ammo, and stick gun where BG doesn't want to pull trigger! Stay safe, and out of IL! Bob

    Three calibers in one gun?

    The long action will handle short cartridges, like .308. The chambers and bores are pecular to each barrel. .308 & the .30-06 family all have the same case head/bolt face diameter. Magazines? Hhhmmm, not sure. I think a controlled-feed such as a Mauser action would pretty much feed any...

    Question about a class

    I've not taken any of Mr. Goodale classes personally, yet. But he enjoys an excellent reputation. Several of my co-workers have taken is handgun classes and speak very highly of him. Stay safe. Bob

    Had to pull my 1911

    He's in WV, good to go! Sheriff in a southern county, when asked about a fatal shooting, replied:"They generally take care of their own problems; we wouldn't have been called at all if someone hadn't been killed.' Facts is facts. I'll bet Mama's GTG also. Good job, OP! Stay safe. Bob

    A pretty funny Gunbroker listing

    Internet ads nothing! Our local newspaper could use a proofreader! Preferably one that can spell! I think I'll order one of those all-steel aluminum guns! Bob

    Gf's first time at the Range

    Damn! A redhead, even! Man, you got any idea what you're in for?!?!?!? Good thing you didn't have a good Ruger .22 autopistol to start her on! She'd be taking you to the gunshop in the AM for a .45ACP!! Stay safe. Bob

    Hospitals and CCW

    In WV hospitals are not on the "verboten" list. However, as an employee I'm screwed. Where I work part time they have a sign that says only "ON DUTY" LEO's may carry. Yeah, right. Stay safe. Bob

    What is a good gun for a female?

    SCASTLE: Welcome aboard! Check Cornered Cat.com referenced above. One of our (special) members. Also, +1 on sm, as usual. And I'm not a S&W Auto fan by any means! SWMBO likes her Kahr CW_9 and her Makarov because they feel good! Have fun, Darlin', and stay armed! Bob

    But he is a gooood boy...

    "Not really, now the tax payers have to support him for up to the next 30 years..." (Haven't figured out the quote thing yet!) We were probably supporting him anyway, and would have been for the rest of his life. Apple's right: good tactics!
